What’s Going On In The Shop

Kyle – Finished 30+ tap handles, worked on the Leopard back splash for a bar, finished vase 95 and the video. Started more tap handles for refuge.

Sean – Made a chisel mallet (video below), worked on the bed, and the Make it Forward Project. It is official: seanrubino.com is the new domain redirect for spunjinworks.com.

Brian – Twiddled his thumbs and a client brought material for a bar top.

Trevor Hillman – I am a few weeks behind, but I am enjoying your podcast. It might be the audio player but sound quality is sometimes an issue, that or Kyle needs to get a new mic. In all seriousness though, wanted to recommend the Gramercy rasps over at tools for working wood. I really enjoy mine and you can also get a saw makers rasp over there as well, great stuff. Keep up the great show.

Nick – Guys, I’m enjoying the podcast – I like the unique aspects that separate it from the other podcasts out there and make it a great contribution to the community.

Re: the bench build off, I recently finished my split top Roubo. I made a dorky video with a few additions to the top flattening process using a router sled.

RWKUSTOMS – 5 Stars – Amazing Podcast – Definitely check these guys out! Very inspiring and professional podcast. I just got my Dusty Life T-Shirt in the mail and I’m happy to support the show. Keep up the good work!

Speedy’s Woodshop – 5 Stars – Great Stuff! – As a fellow woodworker/maker there is nothing better than to listen to people deal with the same issues you do. There is something to learn from this podcast. Great job, Guys! -Speedy

Brian – Butterfly Leaf Table joinery and a dovetailed box.

iTunes Ratings

Soulhydration – 3 stars: Good topics and getting started on the right foot. This would have been a 5 star rating but it was a bit disappointing to see the explicit rating. Really, the foul language is distracting and makes hard to listen with the kids around or at work. At the end of the day I think the explicit rating will turn many potential listeners away.

Rvicic – 5 Stars: I found you guys through Wood Talk, and so far I agree with Shannon, it’s pretty good. In the second episode there is a 5 minute dead spot right at the end, and the first two episodes had some bad sound quality. BUT I like it. Keep it up.

New shooter – 5 stars: Cool guys, keep it up.
